Living on the Horizon

22 October 2025

From glittering city skylines to the sunlit sweep of the bay, these homes take in enviable views that bring the outside world into focus. Each home is designed with the view in mind, creating a sense of tranquillity and flow throughout. The result is a way of living where the outlook is not just seen but felt in every moment.

This month’s Signature Spaces showcases five Marshall White properties that feature remarkable views from every perspective, whether you’re drawn to glittering city skylines, serene treetop outlooks or the bright blue waters of the bay.

Penthouse, 661 Chapel Street, South Yarra

The penthouse at 661 Chapel Street puts elevation first. A private rooftop garden crowns the residence and opens to 280° views across the Melbourne skyline, Port Phillip Bay and towards the Dandenongs. Full-height glazing pulls light deep into the interior and aligns living, dining and terrace zones with the outlook. From first light to city lights, the panorama is a constant companion.

53–57 Park Street, South Yarra

Here, terraces and greenery are integral to the design, not an afterthought. Windows are positioned to draw the eye to the city, while thoughtfully placed greenery offers privacy. Sliding doors keep thresholds level, allowing living, dining, and outdoor areas to function seamlessly as one. Multiple alfresco zones are tranquil, connected, and designed for everyday use — private when needed, open for entertaining.

The Penthouse at Saint Moritz, St Kilda

The Saint Moritz penthouse is architecture tuned to a horizon on every side. Full-height glazing and broad terraces trace the entire perimeter, delivering uninterrupted 360° outlooks across the bay to the horizon, down to the marina, and out to Melbourne’s skyline. Spaces pivot seamlessly between scenes: unwind with water in view, entertain to the city lights, and watch the light play across St Kilda from dawn through dusk. A rare residence of scale and theatre — truly one of Australia’s most spectacular penthouses.

413–414 Esplanade, Mount Martha

Positioned on the Esplanade with a clear line to the water, this coastal residence takes its cues from the bay. Panoramic outlooks set the mood from the first step inside, while alfresco balconies are angled to catch sea breezes and frame sunsets. Generous living zones slide open to terraces so meals, quiet moments and entertaining move naturally outdoors. Materials are calm, circulation is intuitive, and every space is oriented to light and the horizon. The view leads, the plan follows.

Grandview, 646 High Street, Prahran (Project)

At Grandview, outlook is the point of departure. Window placement, layered terraces and vertical connections are composed to draw the city into a daily rhythm, with light shifting across floors, pockets of open air at every turn. As you move, framed glimpses orient and invite; when you pause, outdoor rooms extend living beyond the glass. Grandview takes an assured inner-city approach: light, air and long views embedded in the plan, not added on.
